Ark-ians, Arch-ians, or Ars-ians?

Which pronunciation is more common?

from GalCiv2 Forums
I wonder whether there is a dominant pronunciation for Arcean:

/Ark-ian/ as in Joan of "Ark"-ian,
/Arch-ian/ as in St. Louis "Arch"-ian,
/Ars-ian/ as in Kick in the "Arse"-ian

I use that one. It seems to be most apt whenever I play against them.

I've always just called them "Ar-Shuns". Of course, I used to call the "Dren-jen" the "Dren-ghin", so my track record is currently zero to one.

I call them the Ar-seens. Wonder what the Stardock guys call them.. Frogboy, anyone?

Enlighten us, Brad. We've already insulted the Drengin with a different pronounciation. Let's try not to shame the Arceans any longer.

It's not a G sound? Source?

pre-release there was a movie of game play, where the Dren-jin pronounciation was used by the dev in the voiceover.
